When two red flares were raised on the city wall, everyone at the 34L Brigade Headquarters was attracted by the dazzling red light in the sky. A special operator came in and reported: "Report to the captain, Detachment 2 has taken control of the city wall. As soon as the team member finished speaking, a dense burst of gunfire and explosions came from the northern city wall. Brigade Commander Ma, I didn't make a fool of myself, our army launched an attack in the north. To tell you the truth, one of my special operations detachments has taken control of a section of the city wall at the junction, and soon the assault troops will climb the city wall and break the city, so hard that you still don't believe it? All the generals in the brigade headquarters pricked up their ears and listened, and Ma Kun didn't seem to believe it.

At this time, another team member came in and reported: "Report, the enemy troops surrounded outside are asking for negotiations?" "Let them send a representative in?" After a while, the commander of the guard battalion walked in with a shocked face, and saw the brigade commander Ma Kun, the chief of staff, and other generals sitting there with gray faces, and several soldiers armed with submachine guns around them, convinced that the brigade headquarters had been captured. "Brigade seat, 70th regiment, 71** came to reinforce, surrounded the brigade headquarters, they want to launch a strong attack to rescue the brigade commander." "You go out and tell the people outside that in order to ensure the personal safety of the brigade commander, you are not allowed to launch an attack without an order." The chief of staff reprimanded with a tiger face.

"Brigade commander, the Red Army in the north is suddenly attacking, and the city defense units are stubbornly resisting. In addition, the commander of the 72nd Regiment led his troops to defect to the 11th Division, and the 11th Division will soon know what happened here. The guard battalion commander was obviously a confidant, and said anxiously. Mu Shixiong said: "Brigade Commander Ma, I know that you are a smart person, if Luo Zhuoying understands the situation, he will soon send troops to attack, he will not care about your life." I, Mu Shixiong, dare to attack your brigade headquarters, and I don't care about this more than 100 catties. My goal has been achieved, and even if you and I die together, I will not lose money. I hope that Brigade Commander Ma will think twice, and in addition, Brigade Commander Ma will also think about the lives of his subordinates. ”

Hearing this, Ma Kun stood up in astonishment and asked, "Your name is Mu Shixiong, and you are the captain of the special operations team under Ouyang Jian?" "It's down here, it's rare for you to know my name!" The name of the special combat team under Ouyang Jian, including Mu Shixiong, is unknown to anyone. Ma Kun asked with certainty, "If I declare that I lay down my arms now, will it still be a battlefield uprising?" "I take the head guarantee on the item, and now declare that the battlefield uprising is still valid." Ma Kun hesitated for a moment and decisively picked up the phone to give the order for the battlefield uprising, and there was some surprise that the 70th Regiment resolutely carried out the order to cease fire, but the 71st Regiment refused to carry out the order of the battlefield uprising.

At this time, enemy troops of the 11th Division appeared near the brigade headquarters, and the battle began to break out. Mu Shixiong covered Ma Kun's retreat to the defensive position of the 70th Regiment on the left flank, and the special operations detachment was cut off and blocked. An hour ago, Luo Zhuoying received a report from the commander of the 72nd Regiment and immediately ordered the Reserve Brigade to dispatch a regiment to assist the 72nd Regiment in attacking the 34th Brigade headquarters. Luo Zhuoying promised on the spot that if Ma Kun died in battle, he would be recommended as a brigade commander. The head of the big fat regiment is eager to make meritorious contributions and take the lead. After the order for the Makun battlefield uprising was issued, because the 71st Regiment refused to carry out the order, a battalion sent by the headquarters to support the brigade headquarters had a fire fight with the 70** battalion. At this time, the commander of the 72nd Regiment also arrived to attack the brigade headquarters.

There was a mess outside, and Mu Shixiong ordered the special combat team to break off, and the guard battalion protected Ma Kun to retreat to the 70th regiment defensive position. A chaotic battle, a ・・・・・・ of fighting. About an hour later, Ma Kun withdrew to the headquarters of the 70th Regiment. Mu Shixiong inspected the losses and learned that the captain of the second detachment led a group of team members to be at the rear, and after a desperate battle, all 11 people were killed, two were killed in the second group, three were wounded, and five were wounded in the third group. Mu Shi's ambition seemed to be dripping blood, and it was the worst battle lost by the special operations team since it was formed.

Luo Zhuoying, the headquarters of the 11th Division, heard that Ma Kun had rebelled and that the right flank wall in the north had been captured, and immediately ordered the troops in the city to launch a counterattack and resolutely repel the Red Army entering the city. He estimated that the number of Red Army entering the city in the north was limited, and the chaotic fighting continued until the east turned white, and not only did not counterattack the Red Army entering the city, but on the contrary, the Red Army fought more and more, and the area of the northern city wall continued to expand. Luo Zhuoying felt that the general trend had gone, but he could not be shaken as the chief officer at the moment of crisis, although he was uneasy and frightened in his heart, he seemed very calm on the surface. In order to make his subordinates desperate, he cheered that reinforcements would arrive soon.

"Report! The military headquarters sent a telegram ordering the Red Army to quickly counterattack and ensure the stability of the city of Ganzhou. "Luo Zhuoying saw the telegram and knew in his heart that the military seat was making him a benevolent if he didn't succeed, but in fact, don't expect reinforcements." The various units in the city were ordered to intensify the offensive, and our reinforcements arrived quickly. "Chief of Staff Bing Bing is smart. After giving the order, he then ordered the commander of the guard regiment to cover the division headquarters and move to the bank of the Zhangjiang River in the southeast, with a very clear purpose, ready to flee at any time. After dawn, the two regiments under Song Renqiao all climbed the city wall. The enemy forces were still stubbornly resisting, and the troops entering the city attacked along the walls to the right flank and captured the dock as soon as possible.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the commander of the 71st Regiment of the 34th Brigade, which refused to carry out the order of the battlefield uprising, was shot dead by his subordinates in the chaos, and some officers and men of the 71st Regiment announced a battlefield uprising, and the temporary balance was quickly broken. The Red 44th Regiment took the opportunity to capture the strategic points of the right flank dock, and suddenly the defensive system of the 11th Division, which was responsible for the defense of the east and southeast, collapsed. Later, with the cooperation of the 44th Regiment, the 7th Division of Xiao Feng's division broke the city in the northeast, and the battle began to be staged in the urban area.

The slow progress after the breaking of the city in the north is directly related to the civil engineering defense system of Chen Cheng's department. Chen Cheng ordered Luo Zhuoying to improve the fortifications of Ganzhou City in order to stick to Ganzhou, so Ganzhou not only has strong city wall fortifications, but also forms a relatively complete defensive system in depth, otherwise Luo Zhuoying would not have the confidence to hold Ganzhou City. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Song Renqiang accompanied Peng Dehuai to the northern city wall, and all four integrated regiments of the 10th Division entered the city. At about 5 p.m., the vast majority of Xiao Feng's 7th Division entered the city.

At a high point at the city gate on the north side, Peng Dehuai held a telescope to observe. "Commander Song, it's the first time I've seen such a complete fortress fortification for the enemy, frankly speaking, if there is no special combat team to infiltrate Ganzhou City, Ganzhou is indeed not easy to fight, even if you can take Ganzhou City, you will have to pay a heavy price, and you can't even take Ganzhou City for a month. Just now I went to visit the special combat team, and almost one detachment was killed or wounded, I'm sorry Brother Ouyang! "Mr. Peng, Commander Ouyang will not be so stingy, he asked the special combat team to participate in the Battle of Ganzhou, and he has already thought about the battle damage."

Song Renqiang continued: "I heard Captain Mu say that at present, there are 100 special combat personnel in training in the Jiujiang base area, and the special combat team will be expanded in the next step. This morning, the commander of the Ouyang Corps called and asked the wounded team members to recuperate in Ganzhou, and after recovering from their injuries, they joined the special combat team of the Third Army Corps. Mr. Peng, with the addition of more than 10 battle-hardened special combat personnel, our special combat team will be like a tiger with wings and greatly improve its combat capability. Peng Dehuai sighed: "Brother Ouyang is concentrating on improving the overall combat capability of the Red Army troops, and it can be described as well-intentioned. Look, whether your division is attacking or defending, assaulting, detouring, or interspersed, its combat capability is obviously superior. This is directly related to the skillful military qualities of the soldiers, the excellent command of the commanders, and by no means formed in a day or two. ”

Peng Dehuai continued: "Xiao Feng's 7th Division makes me proud, but your 10th Division shocks me. Brother Ouyang is reasonable, artillery is the god of war, and its role in offensive and defensive operations is becoming increasingly apparent. In the next step, I need Brother Ouyang's strong support to form a powerful artillery unit. "Mr. Peng, as far as I know, the Jiujiang Base Area Arsenal is developing a new type of artillery. Commander Ouyang said that the Red Army must form a powerful artillery unit, and I believe that Commander Ouyang will be able to do it. ”

"Report to Mr. Peng, Chief of Staff Deng has called, the 11th and 12th Divisions have made a detour back to the east side of Shashi Town, asking for instructions!" An operations staff officer handed the message to Peng Dehuai. "Order the 11th and 12th Divisions to launch a counterattack at dusk, to follow the enemy army and quickly capture Nankang, successfully end the Ganzhou Campaign, and complete the occupation of southern Jiangxi!" After dark, the offensive of the various units began to intensify, although the enemy army was still resisting, but the battle situation was already clear, and it was only a matter of time before the capture of Ganzhou City.

The 7th Division and the 10th Division took advantage of the night to launch a tidal offensive, at about midnight, Luo Zhuoying led the division headquarters guard regiment, using the Zhangjiang River waterway to flee, after dawn, the enemy army in Ganzhou City formed several isolated strongholds, and there was no suspense in the battle. At dusk of the same day, the 11th and 12th Divisions counterattacked from the east side of Shashi Town, and Chen Cheng's two brigades of the 14th Division, the 55th Division and the 58th Division retreated in disarray. The 11th and 12th Divisions pursued the victory and were invincible.

As of March 30, the Battle of Ganzhou lasted 20 days and ended successfully. During the campaign, Peng Dehuai led the 3rd Group Army, which not only captured Ganzhou, a strategic place in southern Jiangxi, but also took the opportunity to capture the southern counties, and Chen Cheng's troops all retreated into Guangdong. In the Battle of Ganzhou, the 11th Division was eliminated (only the division commander Luo Zhuoying led the guard regiment to escape), the 42nd Brigade and the 34th Brigade (two-thirds of the battlefield uprising), a total of more than 20,000 enemy troops were annihilated.

In pursuit of operations in the south, the enemy lost more than 3,000 men. Post-war statistics: More than 30,000 enemy troops were eliminated in the Battle of Ganzhou, and Chen Cheng's 19th Army was almost disabled. The victory in the Battle of Ganzhou meant that the Red Army would leave Guangzhou at any time, which laid the groundwork for the defection of the Cantonese army in the future. After the victory in the Battle of Ganzhou, the Red Army Headquarters announced that the Red Army would not march on Canton, urged the Kuomintang troops to withdraw from Jiangxi and Fujian, and at the same time demanded that the Nanjing government start peace negotiations with the Soviet government. However, the Nanjing government refused to negotiate peace, and turned against it in public opinion. The situation reversed, and the Kuomintang began to protest against playing the political card.

On this day, Mu Shixiong led the special combat team to prepare to return to the Jiujiang base area, and Peng Dehuai, Song Renqiang, Xiao Feng and others saw them off outside the city. In addition to the dead who were buried on the spot, the wounded were left for treatment, and there were 34 people left. The 34-person queue is still majestic, Mu Shixiong, Song Renqiang, and Xiao Feng warmly embrace, and it is difficult to separate. Finally, Mu Shixiong stood in front of Peng Dehuai and said, "Commander Peng, do you have any other instructions?" Peng Dehuai said emotionally: "Captain Mu, I won't say anything about thanks, take me to say hello to Commander Ouyang, I wish him a smooth expedition!" ”

Mu Shixiong raised his hand and saluted, and then stepped on his war horse. All the team members stepped onto the war horses, Mu Shixiong raised his hands to salute and wave goodbye, and the special combat team quickly disappeared into the distance. "Mr. Peng, where is our next goal?" Xiao Feng asked! "The headquarters asked us to rest in Ganzhou for a month, and the specific actions are waiting for orders." "Mr. Peng, I really want to have a hearty Chen Sheng to attack Guangdong, at present, the Guangdong army is full of soldiers, now is the time!" Song Ren is still exhausted. "Now our central task is to promote talks, and military operations must be coordinated with political negotiations, but Lao Jiang did not hurt his muscles and bones, and the next step is to watch Commander Ouyang's performance."
